By James White

God says, "Remember the Sabbath-day to keep it holy." "The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord." But the advocates of the seventh-part-of-time theory think differently. They would have the commandment of God read. Remember a Sabbath-day, &c. A seventh day is the Sabbath. They do not understand the term Sabbath-day, to refer to any particular day, but to any day you please—a seventh part of time.
But did Christ so understand it when teaching his disciples in regard to their flight out of Jerusalem? If he did, then the term, "a seventh part of time," may be used in Matt. xxiv, 20, instead of "the Sabbath-day." We will try it.
But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a seventh part of time. If such a prayer had been answered, then they never could have left Jerusalem, and would have perished in its destruction. It would have been a prayer for their own destruction. What will our seventh-part-of-time men do with this?
